Abstract: There is much to be learned from the study of real applications of learning objects in authentic use and development applications. These chapter reviews two such studies and in the process helps to identify factors that will likely both exacerbate and promote re-usable learning object adoption. The framework provided is useful for reminding us that education is multi-faceted and multi-staged and that learning objects need to be integrated within culturally defined learning sequences. Thus, diverse needs often warp around instruction, support, assessment, and encouragement and each can be critical to effective use and integration.
